I will concentrate on IM and Sur and UW in the next month.

Watching 1st season of Grey's anatomy and HOUSE MD
can help you to build up a visual sense of real life senarios:

For me who did not do any residency after graduate in 2001, that is a good way of learning.

At least I know why ABC and MRI/CT is so crucial in our tests, --> a clinical common sense.

My test will be on Sep30,
CS date:Nov.05
Rush to 2008 match

Will Do Good!
